For runs longer than 75 feet, 14 gauge wire is recommended. For best results, strip all wire insulation no more than 3⁄8" from the end before inserting into the connector. 1. Remove the Terminal Connectors from their locations on the back of the cabinet. This will make it easier to connect the wires. (See Diagram 3) 2. Connect the wires from the speakers to the appropriate location under “SPEAKERS” on the removable terminals. Please observe proper polarity (+, –) of the connections. (See Diagram 3) 3. Insert the wired terminal connector into the appropriate speaker output on the back of the speaker selector. 4. Connect the amplifier or receiver speaker output to the appropriate location under ”AMPLIFIER” on the removable terminal. Please observe proper polarity (+, –) of the connections. (See Diagram 3) 5. Insert the wired terminal connector into the amplifier input on the back of the speaker selector. Diagram 3 STEP 2. Tighten wire clamp screw with screwdriver. STEP 1.

CAUTION: If the ”AMPLIFIER” and ”SPEAKERS” connections are reversed, a short could result across the amplifier or receiver output terminals, which may seriously damage your amplifier or receiver. Please double-check all connections before turning on your amplifier or receiver. Labeling the front of the Speaker Selector (See Diagram 4) There is one set of adhesive labels included to be used on the front of the Speaker Selector. These labels make it easy to identify which area has been selected when the button is depressed. There are indentations above each button on the front of the Selector. Place the appropriate label into each of these locations. If you can't find the label you need, you can create your own by writing on one of the blank labels using a pen or small marker.

When this switch is in the ”ON” position, it will override the front Protection button and assure that the protection circuitry is always on, no matter what the position of the front button. This switch should be placed in the ”ON” position if you are concerned that someone unfamiliar with the system may fail to properly use the front protection button.
